liquors and imposes heavier burden on profits arising from war washington july 3 the war revenue bill as rewritten by the sen ate committee on finance after six weeks work was reported on the floor this afternoon by senator sim mons chairman of the committee as now framed the bill is expected to yield an annual revenue of 1,670,000,000 as against 1,810,420,000 estimated in the measure passed by the house secretary of the treasury mcadoo has estimated the expenditures of this government for the fiscal year ending june 30 1918 at 2,326,000,000 of which 1,898,000,000 must be raised by taxation tariff or the sale of addi tional bonds the senate committee believes that the difference between secretary hc adoo's estimate of funds required and the amount to be derived from the bill as reported can be made up by the sale of panama bonds now held by the treasury or by further legis lation possibly the authorization of additional bond issues at the ne.ct session of congress beginning de cember 1 of this year 22s,000,000 unprovided this difference is 22s 000,000 but it may be found that the revenue bill will , produce . an excess above the committee estimates or may fall be hind especially if a prohibition meas ure is passed and the whisky in bond commandeered by the government it is possible that congress may be asked in december to authorize an additional bond issue of 500,000 000 but this would not conflict with the policy of the senate committee which holds that a fair share of the war expeditures should be met by bond issues the bill reported out of the senate committee is said by its framers to be a scientific measure in which much of the hodge-podge of the house bill has been ignored placing the burden of taxation where it be longs â€” on the shoulders of the rich and prosperous tariff raise abolished it removes entirely the additional 10 per cent tariff on all imports which would have given opportunity for manipulation and sharp rises in the necessaries of life the new war tax on incomes is placed at 532,000,000 practically the same as in the original draft of the house bill this is in addition to the 108,000,000 , surtax imposed by the revenue bill enacted in sfptember 1916 and brings the total tax on in comes in excess of 500,000 to ap proximately 50 per cent one of the big changes by the sen ate committee is to be found in the excess profits tax the house bill imposed an excess profits tax of 16 per cent on net profits of corpora tions and partnerships after deduct ing p5,000 and a sum equivalent to s per cent on actual capital and by this means estimated to raise a rev enue of 200,000,000 annually the senate has redrawn this sec tion > so as to place the burcen upon excess war profits instead a iiif i hindenburg tells germany victory is near

liquors and imposes heavier burden on profits arising from war washington july 3 the war revenue bill as rewritten by the sen ate committee on finance after six weeks work was reported on the floor this afternoon by senator sim mons chairman of the committee as now framed the bill is expected to yield an annual revenue of 1,670,000,000 as against 1,810,420,000 estimated in the measure passed by the house secretary of the treasury mcadoo has estimated the expenditures of this government for the fiscal year ending june 30 1918 at 2,326,000,000 of which 1,898,000,000 must be raised by taxation tariff or the sale of addi tional bonds the senate committee believes that the difference between secretary hc adoo's estimate of funds required and the amount to be derived from the bill as reported can be made up by the sale of panama bonds now held by the treasury or by further legis lation possibly the authorization of additional bond issues at the ne.ct session of congress beginning de cember 1 of this year 22s,000,000 unprovided this difference is 22s 000,000 but it may be found that the revenue bill will , produce . an excess above the committee estimates or may fall be hind especially if a prohibition meas ure is passed and the whisky in bond commandeered by the government it is possible that congress may be asked in december to authorize an additional bond issue of 500,000 000 but this would not conflict with the policy of the senate committee which holds that a fair share of the war expeditures should be met by bond issues the bill reported out of the senate committee is said by its framers to be a scientific measure in which much of the hodge-podge of the house bill has been ignored placing the burden of taxation where it be longs â€” on the shoulders of the rich and prosperous tariff raise abolished it removes entirely the additional 10 per cent tariff on all imports which would have given opportunity for manipulation and sharp rises in the necessaries of life the new war tax on incomes is placed at 532,000,000 practically the same as in the original draft of the house bill this is in addition to the 108,000,000 , surtax imposed by the revenue bill enacted in sfptember 1916 and brings the total tax on in comes in excess of 500,000 to ap proximately 50 per cent one of the big changes by the sen ate committee is to be found in the excess profits tax the house bill imposed an excess profits tax of 16 per cent on net profits of corpora tions and partnerships after deduct ing p5,000 and a sum equivalent to s per cent on actual capital and by this means estimated to raise a rev enue of 200,000,000 annually the senate has redrawn this sec tion > so as to place the burcen upon excess war profits instead a iiif i hindenburg tells germany victory is near
